Does Art Briles get fired for all this?
Under the operating theory of "When you win you get to do whatever you want/the rules are different for you", the guess would be no.Bruins01 wrote:Does Art Briles get fired for all this?
Hard to answer any questions without context and specificity.A highly touted Baylor football player was convicted of sexually assaulting a fellow student after the school kept the disturbing allegations under wraps for years — and continues to deny it was warned about the player’s violent past.
I'm going to go ahead and guess Mr. Starr didn't respond to 90%+ of Chip's questions...UAEebs86 wrote:Didn't realize that Kenneth Starr was the president of Baylor. Chip Brown has a few questions:

Well then whoever is coaching Baylor seven years from now when the NCAA gets around to making a decision should be prepared to lose three scholis a year for two years and make a donation to a woman's shelter.the real dill wrote:This Baylor thing is starting to look pretty Penn Stateish:
Baylor should retain Bill Clinton as independent counsel to investigate Ken Starr.the real dill wrote:It's at the level where Briles or Starr will have to go. My money is on Briles staying. ESPN just blew them up in the last segment. They seem to think the feds are going to get involved with Waco PD, and that may be the bigger story.

I'm not holding my breath. This is penn state writ small; in the balance between successful college football and raped girls the football comes out on top every time. My guess is a Waco police officer or two fall on their sword/gets indicted for some cover up stuff and gets a free Starr defense... And that's about it.
But if someone in the school goes its definetly Starr. You can find another administrator anywhere. But a good football coach?
Well, that's worth like 50 raped girls. Perhaps a hundred in the right market.
It seems to fundamentally go back to the idea that people care more about winning than they do about raped girls. I think everyone understands Briles knew; they just don't care.Chicat wrote:It's amazing how these head coaches who are paid and treated like the CEO of a multi-million dollar organization and yet seemingly know absolutely nothing about what anyone underneath them does and it matters not at all when it comes to their jobs.
Similar stink coming from Penn State land. Feels like a similar kind of attitude, rationalizing and not giving a crap about real victims.CalStateTempe wrote:Lotta shit stinks in Waco.

My wonder is how many places would smell the same under a similar situation. My guess is way too many.
I *think* we would be. I have a tough time believing not just our administrators but our fan base would put our teams above systemic rape (or other similar) situations.Chicat wrote:I pray Arizona would be aboveboard when it comes to this kind of thing.

Not to be a homer, but University of Texas is currently being sued for kicking two players out of school who were ultimately innocent.SCCats wrote:I *think* we would be.

Of course one never knows for sure until one is in fact put in that situation.
Starr should be gone too if what the woman who wrote the blog post said about reporting her assault to him and him doing nothing is true.Baylor admits to "directly discouraging some complainants from reporting (incidents) & retaliated against one for reporting sexual assault"
That should be a jo brainer, clean house. Just disgustingChicat wrote:Whoa...

Not convicted is not equal to "innocent." They should have been kicked out for cause, regardless of the outcome of the case.the real dill wrote:Not to be a homer, but University of Texas is currently being sued for kicking two players out of school who were ultimately innocent.SCCats wrote:I *think* we would be.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The sexual assault case accusing a former UT football player of assaulting a girl on campus has been dismissed. The decision to dismiss the case against Montrel Meander came after the jury acquitted Kendall Sanders last week of the same charges.
The victim, referred to as Jane Doe, in the assault case testified against Sanders earlier this month. The anonymous victim claimed she went back to Montrel’s San Jacinto dorm room after drinking on 6th Street. She said she initially consented to sexual intercourse with Meander.
Doe then states Kendall Sanders showed up at the dorm room and the two former football players assaulted her despite her pleas for them to stop. The 5’5′ woman said her attempts to fight off the men was impossible. Doe told the jury while she begged them to stop Sanders said “You are going to like it,” and “You can leave when I am finished.”
In their opening statements the defense said they intended to show Jane Doe did give consent to both men, but reported it as sexual assault for fear of embarrassment after Sanders took a picture of her during sex.
In her testimony she said if she could relive that night she wouldn’t have gotten drunk, and wouldn’t have gone home with Montrel.
